Very useful videos and examples. Very well explained specially from the perspective of a C/C++ programmer. Appreciate the time taken to create them. Please keep creating more and with updated content.

[ueliriegg]

great stuff!

maybe you could put your PIP in teh bottom left corner? that way we could see your full command line in the terminal.

[WordsThroughTheSky]

this is a really useful tutorial especially in ML applications like running a training script and passing the training data folder as a CLI argument, validation data, model type, etc...

[Radical]

cool, this is only the second time I've written a script from one file to another but I feel way more comfortable going through the processes now!

for people wondering why @4:15, it didn't work, it's because the file wasn't saved, notice the "+" sign in []brackets. anyway just saying...

[Seriosso]

Great content! Thank you for making these tutorials. Quick favor to ask, could you please move the camera to the left as sometimes it blocks the terminal? Thank you

def myfunction(*args, **kwargs):
print(args[0])
print(args[1])
print(args[2])
print(args[3])
print(kwargs['KEYONE'])
print(kwargs['KEYTWO'])
print(kwargs['KEYTHREE'])
myfunction("key", True, 19, '10', KEYONE='TEST', KEYTWO=7, KEYTHREE=[1, 23])

Can you do arrow functions next? I only found out about them recently and they seem pretty interesting. I love these advanced tutorials, they teach A LOT.

[hello-myot]

didnt know that was possible, great content. Disclaimer though: the video was in front of the args u typed, but further it was great

[StephenEhrlichPhotos]

Very helpful series of tutorials. Please keep them coming.

[Man-Vs-Car]

Love to see it, great content bro, really enjoying it 👏🏾

Why not use argparse? Also I think argument parsing should be intermediate. Love the other videos so far though!

[bed]

you could talk about argparse module too

[Banana-pdqs]

You look like a buffed version of Tim

At 14:11 why not simply

opts_dict = dict(opts)
filename = opts_dict.get("-f", "default.txt")
message = opts_dict.get("-m", "default message")

?

[AzimAzizov]

Hello. Thank you for your videos. I'm learning a lot from them.

13:22 If you want that to work you can zip the key/value pairs if I'm not mistaken.

[madhav.s]

you are the best... i am not good at programming but I love your videos

[michagonet]

What I like to use for the same reason is @click

[erik-martin]

Great video. Might have to mess around making some command line code now.
